Sister LuciaFatima visionary

Some people just have to believe in an Almighty. The same people ususally believe in ghosts and read their stars.

Bless you, in the name of the Eileen, the fairies and the father Christmas.

Karl Marx once said "if God did not exist it would be necessary to invent him"

These are the ones who give astrology a bad name.

Is there anyone out there who has made a deep study of astrology? Fascinating subject*, isn't it? Fodder for the grey cells.

"Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgement upon anything new. "

"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the Universe" Edit: Otherwise reported as " The laws of nature are written in the language of mathematics." I prefer this version. Galileo

* Just don't start "believing" in it!!

Don't get me going about Astrology. The second biggest load of crap after religion. I'm amazed at the guff some people believe in on faith.

Now that Sister Lucia and the pope have died, we may never know what the "third secret" was!

Erm, if you read this thread back from the start... it's supposed to be the JPII was going to get shot.But they never bothered telling him, so it was pointless.

um no it wasnt, it had more to do with the downfall of the catholic church.

"I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

"After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God."

um no it wasnt, it had more to do with the downfall of the catholic church.

The downfall of the catolic church?

What downfall?

Perhaps it is just a very slow downfall....

"Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile." - Julie Burchill

Reading through this thread, it has become apparent we are no longer discussing the nun. It has become a religious education by Catholic believers.

I never actually knock religion, I believe there is a place for it...but I hate the way it is interpreted by religious leaders and believers.

Who are you to tell anyone they will go to hell because they are not believing or following in what you so arrogantly call the truth. I for one have no religious beliefs, but I go through life as a relatively harmless and nice person and don't believe I have anything to be sorry for when it comes to judgement day (if indeed this day exists). Prove it to me if you can!

A religious believer feels they are 100% right, and no matter what is said, you can not sway their views because they are RIGHT. What gives you the right to try and change other people's views. I detest the FACTS that are quoted at us with absolutely no proof. Proof is not because someone said so, this is secondary evidence and would not hold up in a court of law. And a book that was written years ago, namely the bible, which religious leaders choose to use to their advantage. Before you even go there, I am not anti-gay, but is there not a passage that states something along the lines of "man shall not lay with man". Now their are gay priests, this part is ignored in religious breifings.

I have just spent the best part of 2 hours reading this thread.
Assuming I live three-score-and-ten years, I've just spent 0.0000032% of my entire life reading this thread. It's late and my eyes are sore now, but I don't consider any of that time to have been a waste. Classic DL fare from start to finish. So far so good...

P.S. This is my first post. I've been a DL watcher for a while but never posted until now. I wish my post had been better, certainly less sycophantic. I registered as Star Crossed a couple of weeks ago, but whenever I try to post while logged-in as Star Crossed, I get an error message. Any chance a Mod could sort this for me? Cheers.

Mods aren't gods don't you know. Also by reading your first ever posti've been hoping that you will have many more to come. I think frommy judgement you have what it takes to be a deathlist regulararound here. Being honest i wouldn't have the heart to read aboutSister Lucia for 2 hours long but perhaps that's just me. As far as youlogging in try a couple more times it should work and if it refuses tojust create another name maybe similar to the one you had before?

It's also intresting how you actually calculated your time readingthis thread. A bit strange in my view. Though the real truth is yourwasting your life all of the time. When you drop your car keys andyou have to pick them up or even when you buy your dearly belovedgirlfriend a peice of jewlery she wanted and demanded for, but later onyou find out you got the wrong one and you have to return it back to the store. . .

“The Church should not be accepting money for something that is not a true story.”

Do I need to spell out why I find that ironic?
